UNSW is committed to being a globally engaged university leveraging our research, education, and partnerships to create positive societal impact across borders. The University Office of Global Affairs (UOGA) in the Vice Chancellor’s Office plays a central role in this mission, acting as a catalyst for international collaboration and impact, and as a convener of global conversations.
The University has recently refreshed its Global Strategy, aligned with UNSW’s overarching strategy of Progress for All with a distinct relevance to Pillar 3: Convene across sectors and build networks locally and globally.
Over the next decade, UNSW will:

- champion equity, sustainability and real-world impact in all global collaborations
- advance global resilience and prosperity by working with universities, industry, governments and communities worldwide.
